GOEBELLS SMILES, I SPIT ON YOU!

Major Papers Expunge Obama’s Comment: "There Are Countries Where a Single-Payer System Works....CNSNews

President Barack Obama told the American Medical Association yesterday that he believes single-payer health care systems have worked "pretty well" in some countries, but no major U.S. newspaper available in the Nexis database reported the president's comment in their news stories about the speech.

However, three of the nation’s most prestigious newspapers—the Washington Post, the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times—did publish quotes from the president’s speech...that artfully took language from both immediately before and after the president’s statement that single-payer systems work.

ABC TURNS PROGRAMMING OVER TO OBAMA; NEWS TO BE ANCHORED FROM INSIDE WHITE HOUSE Drudge Report

On the night of June 24, the media and government become one, when ABC turns its programming over to President Obama and White House officials to push government run health care -- a move that has ignited an ethical firestorm!

Obooma breaks another campaign promise, how many is that now?----Obama blocks list of visitors to White House (another BROKEN campaign promise)MSNBC.com ^ The Obama administration is fighting to block access to names of visitors to the White House, taking up the Bush administration argument that a president doesn't have to reveal who comes calling to influence policy decisions. Despite President Barack Obama's pledge to introduce a new era of transparency to Washington, and despite two rulings by a federal judge that the records are public, the Secret Service has denied msnbc.com's request for the names of all White House visitors from Jan. 20 to the present. It also denied a narrower request by the nonpartisan watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics...

The ultra-liberal Curry says we don’t care about foreign news coverage, perhaps if she told the truth, someone might care. Ann, watching liars telling lies is still a waste of time, and NBC is the biggest waste of time already, IMO.***Curry: "Journalism is a battle and I feel the scars" New York Observer

"I see the blood on my sword on a daily basis for fights for foreign coverage to be more present in our broadcasting," says NBC's Ann Curry. "The truth is that it's hard to get the majority of Americans or even a significant number of Americans in NBC, Fox, ABC, CBS's world, to care."

AIM.orgDaniel Glover says it's easy to take a potshot at the AP for liberal bias when it inks a deal to distribute the investigative reporting of what he calls left-leaning nonprofits. But, he points out, it's hard to find conservative investigative journalism being produced on a consistent basis. "There are bright spots," though, he says.

Someone should tell the AP to lose their liberal biased reporting, that would be one business model that might work for them. It is so interesting to see the corrupt media huff and puff out all these excuses, but never getting to the truth of the matter. Their help electing the ‘Fraud King’ has had its consequences, and leaving the kneepads on, will lead to their bankruptcy business model.-----AP lowers fees, -Curley: AP To Lower Newspaper Fees Again -- But Gain New Revenue from Web Sites -By MICHAEL LIEDTKE, AP Business Writer

After lowering its fees for U.S. newspapers by $30 million this year, the AP will reduce fees by a total of $45 million for newspapers and broadcasters next year…

Fitz and Jen usually offer a stock blurb about several newspaper companies but today they have skipped reporting on MNI. That might be what is called a nail in the coffin. McClatchy is so moribund, they don’t even deserve space in a business discussion.
